Welcome to Super Two's Day, where your favorite prospect gets the nod
because the calendar has finally flipped enough times. Not only do we
get to see Stephen Strasburg, er, Jesus make his MLB debut today, but we
also get to see Mike Stanton get the call for the Marlins. Huge day in
the NL East, to be certain, but an even bigger day in your fantasy
league. Those of you who
took
my advice and added Stanton last week will be reaping the benefits
soon. I was lucky enough to nab him in two of my three leagues, but not
in my FSWA Insiders League, damn it.
One blog I like to read as much as possible is Closing Time on Yahoo
Sports.
Matt
Romig wrote up a great piece on Stanton that deserves pushing. As
Romig tells you, Stanton probably is not still available in your
league. Again, good thing you listened to me last week...
In a very ironic twist, we saw a former top prospect get sent back down
to the Minors when
Matt
LaPorta was demoted to AAA. This stings, as
LaPorta
was one of our prospects to watch last season. This should serve
as a reminder that no matter how good a player is in the Minors, when
they step onto the field wearing an MLB uniform it does not always
translate into instant success. So let us all keep our fingers crossed
for Stanton, if not for him but for The Fantasy Pitch's reputation.
